Aram kneels down to investigate the panels on the floor.

Aram notices that there is some space between the tiles. It is possible that they act as pressure plates to trigger something. But there is no way to tell for sure without pressing on them, and since the mechanism would be covered up by the tiles, there is no way to disable it if there is something like that.

"What's the matter, Aram, did you drop a copper between the flagstones?"

"If you suspect a trap, Aram, I could summon a brave explorer to help us out. It would be a shame if the summoned dinosaur gets hurt but that will only be temporary.

Unless, that is, Bevin wishes to impress us with his own skill and bravery" Girgal notes.

"And just what, Girgal, makes you think that I have anything to prove to people who have witnessed my prowess for such a long time, eh? I think it's more likely that our roguish dervish dropped a coin and is too dignified to stoop down to retrieve it."

"I haven't been around for a long time as you say, but I do think that perhaps that summoned elemental you had before might do the trick?" Father Fuller suggests

Sorry for the delay, last few days have been really spotty posting for me.

Aram shrugs as he continues to examine the floor. "Looks to be pressure plates, but what they do and how to disable them is beyond me."

Kinem, is it possible to walk between the floor plates? Or is there not enough room?

The gaps between the tiles are less than half an inch across.

"I haven't been around for a long time as you say, but I do think that perhaps that summoned elemental you had before might do the trick?" Father Fuller suggests

"That could certainly do the trick as you say, Father Fuller, but it would be like using a two-handed sword to kill a mosquito, wouldn't it? But another Summoning spell might just do the trick." Bevin will cast Summon Monster II to call up 1d3 celestial dogs from the Summon Monster I list.

1d3=1 1d3=1 "Well, come on then, Angelic Fido, let's hope that you can accomplish this task alone."

Bevin asks everyone to withdraw a safe distance, about 70 feet, and then directs the celestial dog to walk across the pressure plate found by Aram.

Aram half smiles and shakes his head as he moves back. "You keep using your summoned 'friends' to look for traps, and the heavens are going to take their vengeance on you, dwarf."
